Taking wife's name off deed

[Stuartgerbil]

What is the name of your state? Virginia
My wife incurred a substantial debt in 2006, none of it in my name. She wants me to take her name off the deed to the house (which we both own, not the bank) to ensure that a lien cannot be placed on it while she tries to figure out how she is going to pay this debt off. Is this legal? Can a creditor see that she once owned a house and still put a lien on it?

Sure it's legal. And yes, a creditor can file a fraudulent transfer against BOTH of you and sill place a judgement lien on the property once they receive the underlying judgement.

Tell your wife it took her time to run up such debt and commiting a civil tort won't absolve her of the debt.
